“Bourbon street sonesta”
Right smack on Bourbon Street — the best location for a wedding quick trip or Mardi Gras — The Royal Sonesta New Orleans is a very clean perfect-location stay: a comfortable room, excellent extremely helpful staff, a super friendly front-desker named, easy parking, a great if small pool and a delicious healthy breakfast with a workout omelet and shrimp dish. Nits: no in-room complimentary bottled water and no room hotel guide, staff happily fill the gap.
